ABILIS is an engineering firm with 15 years of experience about telecom devices for VPN and VoIP. ABILIS head office is based in Mantua, Italy, with R&D branches in Sicily, Austria, Russia, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. The company employs 50 engineers (mostly fresh and enthusiastic university graduates) and invests yearly 50% of its profit.
Despite the small size, ABILIS is able to stand the competition because of:
usage of standard and inexpensive –yet powerful- hardware components
full control on the firmware (no foreign patents or “intellectual property” are used)
deep knowledge of the project and of the relevant technologies
focus on a limited number of applications
high efficiency (very low ratio “costs/production”)
ABILIS is a kind of “technological monastery” where stress is not welcome and knowledge is pursued far away from the noise of the market square. Competitors invest in advertisement campaigns to promote their products while ABILIS sales are simply supported by good reputation and amazing result .
